Because

It is definitely because they have misled My people by saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace. And when anyone builds a wall, behold, they plaster it over with whitewash;

For the land will be abandoned by them, and will make up for its sabbaths while it is made desolate without them. They, meanwhile, will be making amends for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and their soul abhorred My statutes.

And ye

You shall become a horror, a proverb, and a taunt among all the people where the Lord drives you.

You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and a derision to those around us.

Let there be known among the nations in our sight,

Vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

To make their land a desolation,
An object of perpetual hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And shake his head.

Clap their hands in derision at you;

They hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem,
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘The perfection of beauty,

A joy to all the earth’?”

O Lord, in accordance with all Your righteous acts, let now Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us.

Taken up in the lips of talkers

“But now those younger than I mock me,
Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.

But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered themselves together;
The

smiters whom I did not know gathered together against me,

They

slandered me without ceasing.

Those who sit in the gate talk about me,
And I am the

song of the drunkards.
